The curtain falls on the 2011/12 season this weekend. It has been an entertaining and enthralling spectacular season that has kept us football fanatics talking all year long. The agenda this weekend will be split, depending on where your loyalty lies.

MANCINI

Manchester City lost to Arsenal last weekend in an exciting match. Arsenal fans were proud that their team gave a complete performance to edge out title chasing Manchester City. The fans' joy however turned to anger after comments attributed to Samir Nasri, their former star midfielder, seemed to suggest the club will always be second best to Manchester City.  Arsenal fans have not forgiven Nasri after he switched allegiance in a transfer...
